Lecture of SASA Foreign Member Natalya Narochnitskaya

Russian historian, political scientist and expert in international relations Natalya Narochnitskaya, a foreign member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, will give a lecture titled ’Russia and Serbia in International Relations in the Era of Changes: Tension Lines in European Geopolitics in XIX-XXI Centuries,’ at the SASA Grand Hall, on Tuesday, 1 November, at noon.

’The fate of Slavism and Russia can be decided only if cliche limits of human rights and worldwide democracy are trumped. The general overview of geopolitics is informative for the understanding of early 21^st-century events. The enlargement of NATO reaching the very borders of Russia, taking Kosovo over from Serbia – this vantage point of Morava-Vardar Valley, which connects western Europe with the Bosphorus and Dardanelles strait region, Istanbul’s penchant for the re-establishment of ‘the Sublime Porte’, the transformation of Ukraine into an instrument used by the Anglo-Saxons in the general war against Russia – everything appears to be the execution of temporarily postponed plans. The 19^th-century aspirations merged with discrepancies of existential proportions in the understanding of the world,’ the summary

The lecture will be delivered in Russian (the interpretation is provided).
